Our History

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RAINBOW BRUSH LTD

Afshin Taheri (Founder of Rainbow Brush Ltd) arrived in New Zealand in 1998. With having a BSc majoring Industrial Management; He worked (back in Iran) for a state owned company as a project manager/ industrial planner. In New Zealand, Afshin enrolled in AUT (AIT at that time) for improving his (not so good) English in 1999; and almost in same time he came across with bunch of rugged builders in North Shore whom gave him an opportunity to work for their painters. Builders told Afshin that Kiwi birds lay only one egg per season so everything in New Zealand is about quality as opposed to quantity.They also said “lose that massive moustache mate”.It was the best lesson; So by concentrating on quality and losing the moustache, Afshin’s painting business started to boom.

Our Work

Working in UoA

Working in UoA triggered a nostalgic feeling for studying in Afshin; therefore he enrolled and graduated from Massey University for his Master of Management with International Business Endorsement in 2010. This Helped Rainbow Brush to operate more efficiently and therefore provide better services for its clients.

Today Rainbow Brush employed more than 9 Painters in full time/ part time basis (and more in casual basis).
